i think it's less the song structure / vocals and more the instruments. feels like some clanging and percussion have a similar feel to them

Forgot about this album alarmingly quickly. Looks like everyone else has done the same. I was hoping for a lot more, and perhaps that's my bad.

Revisiting their old stuff recently. Enjoying a lot of it quite a bit. None of their stuff after Good news... has clicked with me yet.
Then I wanted to see how they sound live and watched a show from '21 and... whew... won't be doing that again. Just seems like Isaac has this eccentric talent that can be quite magical on some of their recordings, but it doesn't translate to a live performance. Seems it definitely did more so in their indie-darling underground hay day, but whatever vinegar and spice he had back then, he's lost touch with.

I'm not sure this one is for me. I don't hate it by any means. There are several tracks that I think I'll probably keep returning to but the overall sound aesthetic is off. It feels thin and derivative.

Joe - see my last post in albums of 2021 about Faye Webster. She’s right in your wheelhouse.

That Faye Webster album was my AOTY for 2021. I really want to find it on vinyl because it perfectly fits my vinyl criteria of "albums I can put on to read by".

Thanks to our earlier conversation I'm listening to The Moon and Antarctica. I forgot how much I liked this album.

That's a great playlist. I would suggest adding Doing the Cockroach.

Added! Hopefully Raz doesn't hate it. I'm pushing her limits with this weird shit the way it is.

That’s a good list. “Talkin shit about a pretty sunset” and “Trailer Trash” are two of my favorites. I also enjoy the songs from the “Good News…” album a lot.

this seems little too crazy for my playlist, but maybe it'll be a grower
